You think you’ve had a bad day?
2012 sucks for me. This is why.
First of all..
I lost my job.
I’ve just got a new job, worked for a day, loved it, now can’t work there because some fucking idiots threw away all my paper work, including my birth certificate. I can’t renew my passport, as I need 120 pounds for that, I don’t get a loan like everyone else. I need a job to get a passport but need a passport to get a job.
My parents moved to Cornwall and literally ruined what I’m going to do after uni/with my life. Making money, jobs, friends a lot more difficult.
I’ve had 4 root canals done this year, which sucks.
I’m stuck with a 40 quid month phone contract which I got conned into by an ex boyfriend just so HE could have the free Xbox. The phone bill I can’t afford and definitely am not benefiting from since I broke my blackberry. This is also fucking up my credit rating.
I’ve got to do a dissertation before I have to move out in June, unlikely.
I can’t use the library to even do my dissertation as the uni have barred me from the library for life as I owe them 50 quid or resits last year. Which I cannot afford as I lost my job and now going to have to lose this one.
I’m not celebrating or getting anything for my 23rd birthday. Everyone is going away/not going to be around.
I’m fattening up like a pig because the doctors have put me on another waiting list to fix my collapsed arch in my foot after waiting 3 months to tell me this.
SurfLongboarddddd
Pchoooooo
Because I care more about making a statement than whether you think I’m ugly.
I’m doing my Master’s degree dissertation on beauty ideals within fashion media, a lot of what I’m researching is with regards to artificial beauty via make-up, cosmetic surgery and digital manipulation. I have created this image, titled “Artifice”, to be included in my project.
This is not two images Photoshopped together, this is just make-up.
Make-up inspiration was both Western (fake tan, smokey eyes) and Eastern (circle lenses, white eyeliner, pink blusher) to represent artificial beauty ideals globally. The larger image was of me in a pink bikini top (right) to emphasize plastic surgery (fake breasts) and sexual imagery used in the media, contrasting with the other side (left) of me covered by a plain cardigan.
i got sent this at work the other day. i died.
